North Dakota Becomes 20th State to Ban Trans Students in School Sports
----------------------------------------------------------------------

North Dakota's Republican Governor Doug Burgum signed a law Tuesday
banning trans girls and women from participating in school sports.
Similar laws now exist in 19 other states, though a new rule proposed by
the Biden administration is seeking to outlaw such blanket bans, setting
conservative states up for a clash with the federal government.
